Rajasthan & the Golden Triangle, India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Rajasthan and the Golden Triangle is one of India's most iconic travel circuits, linking the capital Delhi, the Mughal city of Agra — home to the Taj Mahal — and the pink-hued city of Jaipur, before sweeping into the desert state of Rajasthan. Rajasthan is famed for its grand forts and palaces, camel safaris across the Thar Desert, and vibrant bazaars in cities like Jodhpur, Udaipur, and Jaisalmer. The region offers an immersive dive into Mughal and Rajput history, royal architecture, and colourful local culture. It's a favourite among independent travellers and group tours alike for its sheer diversity — ancient heritage, desert landscapes, and some of the subcontinent's most dramatic scenery all within reach.

Self-Launched Luxury Rajasthan: Delhi to Jaisalmer Forts & Palaces Circuit

An 18-day independent version of Golden Triangle India Tours' "Luxury Rajasthan Tour" — same loop from New Delhi through Agra, Jaipur, Deogarh, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Kumbhalgarh, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Mandawa, ending back in Delhi. Instead of a private driver and guide, you'll use India's excellent sleeper and chair-car trains, Rajasthan's state and private buses, and a couple of cheap shared taxis, plus book local guides and activities individually via GetYourGuide, Klook or at the gate. Accommodation is swapped from 4-star heritage hotels to well-reviewed hostels, guesthouses and budget heritage havelis — still atmospheric, just a fraction of the price. Entry tickets to forts and monuments are almost all bookable online via the ASI portal or at the gate. Costs are approximate backpacker/budget-traveller rates in GBP and assume sharing a dorm or twin where possible, travelling October–March.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Rajasthan & the Golden Triangle, India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
